Are you driven to connect the dots that others miss? We’re looking for a Technology Incident & Problem Strategist to hunt for systemic risks hidden within our operational data. Your mission is to move beyond the surface-level noise of daily incidents and become the lead investigator for our technology organization. You won’t just report on what happened; you will uncover why it happened and build the strategic case for changes that will prevent it from happening again. This is a high-visibility role where your analytical horsepower will directly strengthen the stability and resilience of the entire company. What You’ll Do (Your Mission): • Hunt for Hidden Patterns: Dive deep into operational data (incidents, problems, changes) to identify elusive trends, recurring failure points, and systemic issues that span multiple technology domains. • Conduct Forensic Analysis: Use your deep technical knowledge of infrastructure (networks, servers, cloud, etc) to challenge initial assumptions and perform root cause analysis that reveals the truth, underlying drivers of instability. • Tell the Story with Data: Translate your complex technical findings into compelling, data driven narratives and strategic recommendations for senior leadership. You are the bridge between raw data and actionable intelligence. • Partner with Elite Engineers: Collaborate directly with our top technical experts, asking the tough questions and driving conversations that lead to robust, permanent solutions. What You’ll Bring (Your Toolkit): • A Forensic Mindset: An insatiable curiosity and a relentless drive to get to the bottom of complex problems. • Technical Depth: A strong foundation in Enterprise IT infrastructure. You speak the language of engineers and understand how systems interact and fail. • Data Fluency: Expertise in pulling, shaping, and analyzing data to find the signal in the noise. Strong proficiency with Excel is essential; skills in SQL, Tableau, Power BI, or Python adds fire to the game. • Strategic Communication: The ability to build a compelling case and influence change, turning your analysis into funded, prioritized action. • Framework Familiarity: A solid understanding of ITIL principles (Incident, Problem, Change Management) and root cause analysis methodologies (e.g., 5 Whys, Fishbone). • Experience with ITSM platforms like ServiceNow is helpful, but your analytical power and technical curiosity are what we value most. **ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES** Following is a summary of the essential functions for this job.
